Use the end of your finger, from above your last finger crease to your finger tip. Avoid scanning the last finger crease.

Position your finger on the centre of the sensor.

To capture all areas of your fingerprint, you'll need to touch the sensor multiple times, lifting your finger off the sensor between each touch. Make sure that you touch different parts of your fingerprint, including the sides, on the sensor each time.

Optional: Rename your fingerprint if you want to tell it apart from other fingerprints that you add.

Lock your device by tapping the time in the bottom-right corner, and then tapping Lock . Once the screen is locked, you'll see below the password window, which means that you can use your fingerprint to unlock it.

In case you'll want to use other fingers to unlock your tablet, you can add up to 3 fingerprints per signed-in user.

Note:

Anyone whose fingerprints you add will be able to unlock Pixel Slate for the account those fingerprints are associated with.

If you have multiple users signed in on your device simultaneously, only the first signed-in user will be able to use Pixel Imprint™ to unlock their Pixel Slate. All other users will need to use an alternative unlocking method.

At the bottom right, tap the time to open the status area.

Tap Settings .

Under 'People', tap Screen lock.

Enter your password, then tap Confirm.

Next to 'Edit fingerprints', tap Set up.

Tap Add fingerprint.

Scan another fingerprint.

To tell your fingerprints apart, rename them. Tap the current name, type a new name, then tap OK.

Use your fingerprint

After you've set up your fingerprint, tap your finger on Pixel Slate's fingerprint sensor (located on the power button) until it unlocks.

Bear in mind:

Pressing too long on the fingerprint sensor will power off your device.

If you switch your device to an account that doesn't have fingerprints set up, tapping the fingerprint sensor won't wake your device.

Sometimes, use your backup method

For security, you'll unlock with your backup PIN or password after:

Your fingerprint isn't recognised after a few tries.

You restart (reboot) your device.

You switch to a different user.

More than 48 hours have passed since you last unlocked using your backup method.
